It is evident that listening to metal is not ordinary music attunement in which there is the listener and that which is specifically heard (metal). Nor is it a special act of listening which takes place at a definite moment and in a definite location. Nevertheless, there is the fact of listening which cannot be gainsaid. To those who are biologically equipped, it is a fact. To understand it, one must have the experience. A the same time, there must be a specially constructed logic or dialectic (by the metal name) to give to the experience of listening. The fact comes first (hearing the sound) followed by intellectualization and the 9 other ego-defenses. This expression of being heard may fail to satisfy (not everyone likes metal), but that has nothing to do with the fact itself, listening.

If you haven't already taken a hint, I prefer to listen to metal. The Iron Maiden tune, The Number Of The Beast, you played for your introduction was classic. And, I'll be listening.

The conception of music-substance is not a simple construction as most people think as that of mere asumptive listening. Music plays a tremendous role in Self-Nature, if empirical logic (Realism) is applied. Metaphysicians (metempiricists) are careful not to fall in great pitfalls which are commonly liable as the logico-empiricists connect music-substance with Self-Nature. People engaged in propaedeutic study of music have to guard themselves against completing faults such as music equals Self-Nature. What leads individuals to a pitfall is the attempt to substitue a mental understanding of music for the genuine experience itself. This false proceeding is the source of all grave errors.

The following is taken from the Upanishads, Brahman Sutras:

Not he who ceases not from deeds of violence,Nor he who has a restless, wandering mind,Nor he who has not peace within his heart,By knowledge can that highest Self gain,To whom the priest and warrior are bread,Which he besprinkles with the sauce of death,Who that hath done these deeds can find him out.

The view that sees the relation between music-substance and Self-Nature in terms of a connection from the former to the latter is a primordial standpoint of existence in se et per se that looks upon music-substance and Self-Nature from outside of it as if from the third person phraseology. This is a view that fails to realize the existential viewpoint. In contrast, the interpretation of music-substance and Self-Nature in terms of beginninglessness and endlessness (ad infinitum) is a perspective completely liberated from the evanescence of things. I am attempting to add to Satanism, and in no way want to contradict the Satanic philosophy.

This view of a regressus in infinitum one may actually understand the actual reality of human existence differently as though through the attachment of a "third eye." The realization of a True form is to have an awakening that the True form is originally an unTrue form as in the case of connecting music-substance with Self-Nature. This is the outlook of emancipation from the fetters of living that is sought in some esoteric circles including Satanic empiric philosophy. Nevertheless, to interpret a True form just as existence in se et per se that undergoes beginninglessness and endleessness (eviternity) cannot be said to existentially and directly attain liberation from the manacles of subsistance. For the simple reason that it may lapse into some kind of objectification of, for example, words and sentences that carry meaning.
